I am a Computer Science Ph.D. candidate at Carnegie Mellon University working with Professor Bryan Parno.
Previously,
I was at the University of Illinois,
where I earned my B.S. in Computer Science
and B.S. in Mathematics.
I am primarily interested in cryptography,
a collection of mathematical techniques
that guarantee the privacy and integrity
of digital information.
My research focuses on designing zero-knowledge proofs,
a powerful technique for proving the correctness of computations
without revealing any secret inputs.
My work is generously funded by Protocol Labs.
